calling all boot lovers

Sunday, October 12, 2008

So, you know those boots? Over in my sidebar? Well, I get a lot of e-mails asking what kind they are. They are Frye boots, but unfortunately have been discontinued.I have a friend that also has them. She is looking for a little extra cash and wanted to put them on E-bay. I thought I would offer them here first. They are Frye boots, size 8. Unlike me, she has worn hers only a handful of times, and they are in great condition. She would like to get $100.00. No need to comment here. Please e-mail her directly at michelle.f.smith1@gmail.com. ***sold--thank you!

We did have cookie of the week last week. Lots and lots of cinnamon cookies. I must have gone through 2 pounds of butter. I made a trip to Penzeys for more Saigon cinnamon. Thank you to everyone who recommended Penzeys. While in there I had an urge to bake a pie, grill seafood, roast a turkey and make a stew. Beautiful, wonderful, amazing store.

Ah, I wish they were a size bigger! I tried the cinnamon cookies and I didn't particularly love them because I'm a chocolate fiend, and cookies without chocolate are not often worth it for me... BUT, Sailor boy got them in a package from me this week and he sure loved them!

I had to make Pumpkin Drop Cookies again this weekend at the request of Kristen (or Pumpkin Daisies) as she has named them! She also wanted me to add choc chips to these which I did (no nuts cos she doesn't like them) and I have to say they came out even better than the first ones I made a couple of weeks ago:-) Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

So glad you discovered Penzey's...we have one near us and I make regular restashing visits. I love their Chinese Cinnamon. Try the Sandwich Sprinkle for making homemade croutons. Also, their Country French Vinaigrette is fantastic! I do like that they let you refill the bottles - better for the earth and better on the wallet.

Those are really cute boots. I'm not much of a boot wearing person. In fact, I don't like shoes period. I was born with some feet problems and even though they've been corrected, I can never find the right fitting shoe, let alone boot! :( Oh well.

Okay, you need to post some new knitting content to knock this post down a bit further... I keep coming back to long for lovely boots. I saw this post right away, and if they were 1 size bigger, and I had an extra hundred laying around, I would've hesitated oh, about 3.5 seconds before snatching those up- they are so lovely.

I've been a boot person since junior high... with a weakness for 'Docs' (Doc Martens) in the 90's, and classy tall riding boots these days... on the lookout for some fun slightly more rugged lovelies now...

Anyhoo, still waiting for baby... passing time blog hopping, and longing for new boots- it's a good season to buy new boots, right?
